🚨BREAKING: U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, Chairman of U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Republicans, released a new report exposing the failure of abortion drug manufacturers to conduct prescriber oversight, endangering women. Federal regulations have been dismissed, and women are paying the price.

▶️ POISON PILLS EP 5: This was not “choice.”

In 2024, an Ohio woman says her boyfriend, UTMC medical resident Hassan Abass, held her down and forced crushed abortion pills into her mouth after she told him she was pregnant and wanted to keep the baby.

She tried to call 911. He took her phone and hung up the call. She drove herself to the ER. She was bleeding. The baby did not survive.

Abbas’s medical license was suspended, and he later pleaded no contest to four felonies, including unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, identity fraud, and deception to obtain a dangerous drug.

With fewer safeguards and unregulated mail-order access, abortion pills become a weapon in the hands of abusive men.

That is how this happens.

THE RIGHT CHOICE: AUL's CEO, John Mize, was interviewed by Fox News about President Trump's nominee for U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner, Dr. Heidi Overton.

"I think she's going to bring objectivity to the issue of mifepristone in a way that will expose this drug for the damage it causes women...

I firmly believe she understands the clinical implications of taking a drug with a black box warning and now shipping it in the mail."

This back-to-school season, we’re reminded why the pro-life movement exists: so that more children get the chance to grow up, go to school, work hard, and become who they were created to be.

Every child deserves a chance at a future. Let’s keep fighting for it.

AUL's Sarah Zagorski Jones was quoted in a TIME magazine article about Trump’s nomination of Dr. Heidi Overton for U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner, saying,

“We believe Dr. Overton has an opportunity to help strengthen restrictions on the chemical abortion regimen.”

Dr. Heidi Overton is a physician and board-certified specialist in public health with a strong pro-life perspective. She celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a “huge victory for life” and has written critically about the dangers of chemical abortion pills and efforts to expand their access.

▶️ POISON PILLS EP 4: Within days of taking the abortion pill, everything went black for 18-year-old Californian Holly Patterson.

Planned Parenthood prescribed the pills to her, claiming they were safe and to expect some cramping and bleeding, but nothing dangerous.

That's when the pain became intense. Holly developed a catastrophic bacterial infection that triggered septic shock. She died days later.

Her father spoke out, warning that women are not being fully informed. At least 36 women have died from abortion pill complications. Thousands more have suffered serious adverse events.

Women deserve the truth. No slogans, and no euphemisms. Chemical abortion carries real risks. Holly Patterson should still be here.

We are on the ground in Houston at the Care Net National Conference, connecting with pregnancy center leaders from across the country.

We’re talking with executive directors and key staff about the hands-on training, policy briefings, and opportunity to meet Members of Congress and their staff in Washington DC, next June at our 2027 Pregnancy Center Hill Day. From learning how to tell their center’s story to practicing those conversations, this event equips the people on the front lines of the pro-life movement.

Grateful for the conversations with Charisse Camp (ARFuture Foundation) and others, the partnership, and the chance to help pregnancy centers amplify their voice on Capitol Hill.

PRO-LIFE COMMISSIONER: President Trump is expected to nominate Dr. Heidi Overton to be the next Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“Dr. Overton is the right candidate. She has the scientific and medical background that will enable her to perform an objective analysis of the dangers chemical abortion poses to women. Americans United for Life supports Dr. Overton as the next Commissioner of the FDA.” - John Mize, CEO of AUL.

“We believe Dr. Overton has an opportunity to help strengthen restrictions on the chemical abortion regimen, which, in this post-Dobbs era, has raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of women and girls. Beyond the potential physical risks, the ease with which these drugs can be obtained online may also create opportunities for abuse and violence, particularly when they can be purchased by individuals seeking to place women in dangerous or coercive situations.” - .zagorski, Senior Director of Public Relations and Communications for AUL.
